Trainer Karl Burke will test last year's G3 Cornwallis S. winner Quiet Reflection (GB) (Showcasing {GB}) over six furlongs in April in hopes of advancing to Royal Ascot's G1 Commonwealth Cup over that trip. The 3-year-old filly won three of four starts last year all at five furlongs, her lone loss coming when fifth in the G2 Lowther S. over six in her second outing. Burke does not seem discouraged, however, by that mark on his charge's record.
“Quiet Reflection will go to France, probably,” he said. “There's a race at Chantilly in the middle of April. We'll start her off over six there and if she gets that trip, which I think she will, we'll take it from there. The Commonwealth Cup is high on the list of early season targets.”
